I'll be starting a new series of online lessons for the course Serbian 102 which takes approximately 2 months to finish. When you enroll the course, you'll be able to
  • access all the materials any time you wish, 
  • download MP4, MP3 and PDF files 
  • join the discussion forum
In this period I'm also adding new materials and I’m sure you’ll like my new "Horoscope Serbian" series:

Two months become manageable when each week has a purpose

A structured course can combine several kinds of work, but they should not compete on the same day. Use video for context, audio for repetition, a PDF for focused reference and discussion for active production. One clear goal per session makes progress visible.

For an approximately two-month sequence, alternate input and retrieval. Watch or listen first; later, close the material and say what you remember. Downloaded files are especially useful for short repeated contact, but passive replay should lead to a spoken or written response.

Downloads matter only after they produce an answer

Give Serbian 102 a rhythm that survives busy days

Plan the next seven days with four short sessions: one video task, one audio imitation, one written response and one two-minute talk. Give every session a result you can check.

  1. Translate upisati se na kurs.
  2. Write diskusioni forum in Cyrillic.
  3. What should follow passive replay?
  4. Complete: Ja ______ video. (watch)
  5. How long does the original programme approximately take?

The final week turns stored material into speech

  1. to enrol on a course
  2. дискусиони форум
  3. a spoken or written response
  4. gledam
  5. about two months

At the end of the week, keep the activity that produced the clearest Serbian and shorten the one you repeatedly avoided. A workable routine is stronger than an impressive list of resources.
